DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  INTERIOR, 

BUREAU  OF  PENSIONS, 
Washington,  D.  C. ,  September  6,  1900. 

SIR  :  Some  years  ago  I  compiled,  for  the  use  of  the  Bureau,  an  alpha 
betical  list  of  battles  of  the  war  of  the  rebellion,  which  I  afterwards 
revised.  Many  additions  thereto  were  made  and  the  battles  of  the 
Mexican,  Indian,  and  Revolutionary  wars  were  also  included.  This 
compilation  was  as  complete  as  it  was  possible  to  make  it  from  the 
data  to  be  procured  at  the  time,  and  it  is  an  accepted  fact  that  it  has 
proved  to  be  of  great  assistance  to  the  Bureau. 

Some  eight  or  ten  years  ago,  when  the  Government  commenced  the 
publication  of  the  Rebellion  Record,  I  began  a  second  revision  of  the 
Alphabetical  List  of  Battles,  taking  said  record  as  authority.  I  have 
also  used  all  the  data  obtainable  from  the  reports  of  the  various  Depart 
ments  and  from  what  would  appear  to  be  other  reliable  sources,  rela 
tive  to  the  Spanish- American  war  and  the  Philippine  insurrection,  such 
as  is  believed  will  be  valuable  in  the  adjudication  of  pension  claims  on 
account  of  service  in  said  wars. 

The  work  of  revision  has  been  done  evenings  and  at  odd  hours,  prin 
cipally  out  of  the  office.  It  is  now  finished  and,  although  it  may  have 
imperfections,  it  is  believed  to  be  as  complete  as  it  is  possible  to  make 
a  work  of  this  kind. 

I  desire  to  present  to  you  the  manuscript  for  publication  for  the  use 
of  the  Pension  Bureau,  reserving  for  myself  all  other  rights  pertaining 
thereto. 

Very  respectfully, 

N.  A.  STRAIT. 
Hon.  H.  CLAY  EVANS, 

Commissioner  of  Pensions.

DEAR  SIR:  I  have  to  acknowledge  and  thank  you  for  your  generous

The  first  edition  of  the  List  of  Battles  and  }^our  Roster  of  Regi

2  PREFACE. 

You  state-  that  the  ^vork  of  revision  has  been  done  evenings  and  at 
odd  hours.     Under  those  circumstances  I  consider  you  justified  in 
reserving  for  yourself  all  other  rights  and  benefits  to  be  derived  from 
the  book,  and  the  same  should  be  respected. 
Very  respectfully, 

H.  CLAY  EVANS, 

Commissioner.

CAUSES  OF  THE  REBELLION. 

The  North  and  the  South  had  for  years  held  antagonistic  views  on 
two  vital  questions — the  tariff  and  slavery.  The  North,  being  largely 
engaged  in  manufacturing,  desired  a  high  tariff;  while  the  South, 
whose  wealth  consisted  of  cotton,  sugar,  and  slaves,  desired  free  trade. 

The  question  as  to  the  boundary  of  slave  territory  was  supposed  to  be 
finally  settled  by  the  Missouri  Compromise  of  1820,  but  when  Kansas 
and  Nebraska  were  established  as  Territories  the  compromise  was 
repealed,  and  the  question  as  to  whether  they  should  be  free  or  slave 
States  was  left  to  the  people  of  each  Territory  to  decide  for  themselves. 

Then  the  trouble  began.  Both  parties,  the  proslavery  and  the  anti- 
slavery,  set  to  work  to  get  a  majority  of  the  votes  in  their  favor,  but 
the  settlers  from  the  New  England  States  poured  into  the  new  Terri 
tory  so  much  more  rapidly  than  those  from  the  Southern  States  that 
when  Kansas  voted  on  the  proposition  she  decided  against  slavery  by 
an  overwhelming  majority. 

This  defeat  of  the  proslaveiy  people  caused  intense  feeling  through 
out  the  South,  and  when  the  Republican  party  came  into  power  by 
the  election  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  November  6,  1860,  the  leaders  in 
Southern  politics  knew  that  all  hopes  of  a  further  extension  of  slave 
territory  were  gone,  and  they  immediately  began  to  plan  for  a  disso 
lution  of  the  Union. 

The  South  Carolina  Senators  withdrew  from  Congress  November  9 
and  11,  and  that  State  formally  seceded,  by  a  vote  of  the  people, 
December  20, 1860.  It  was  followed  by  Mississippi  January  9 ;  Florida, 
January  10;  Alabama,  January  11;  Georgia,  January  19~;  Louisiana, 
January  26;  Texas,  February  1;  Virginia,  April  17;  Arkansas,  May  6; 
North  Carolina,  May  21;  and  Tennessee  June  8,  1861.  The  western 
portion  of  Virginia  refused  to  secede,  and  became  a  separate  State 
in  1863. 

The  war  opened  with  the  firing  on  the  Star  of  the  West  by  the  Con 
federate  batteries  in  Charleston  Harbor  January  9,  1861,  and  closed, 
practicallv,  with  Lee's  surrender,  April  9,  1865.

continued  during  the  day.  The  last  shot  was  fired  about  10  o'clock  p.  m.,  the 
remainder  of  the  night  being  spent  in  strengthening  the  position,  burying  the 
dead,  caring  for  the  wounded,  and  relieving  the  skirmishing  line,  which  had 
been  two  days  in  front  constantly  under  fire.  On  the  morning  of  the  13th  the

Infantry,  was  wounded  while  on  the  parapet  of  the  fort,  but  a  few  feet  from

Troops  engaged  were  the  First  and  Second  Divisions,  Sixth  Corps;  Twenty- 
second  Corps,  convalescents,  marines,  Home  Guards,  and  citizens,  commanded

JThc  compiler  recalls  having  seen  President  Lincoln  and  Secretary  of  War  Edwin  M.  Stanton, 
accompanied  by  a  military  officer  unknown  to  him,  at  Fort  Stevens  on  the  forenoon  of  July  11. 
Arriving  l»y  the  Fourteenth  street  road,  their  carriage  stopped  and  they  alighted  about  100  feet  from 
the  Brightwood  Hotel  and  crossed  the  Seventh  street  road  in  the  rear  of  the  fort,  or  near  where  the 
car  barn  is  now  situated.  They  halted  on  a  small  knoll  or  rise  of  ground  located  on  the  right  and  not 
quite  abreast  of  the  fort.  As  they  were  crossing  the  Seventh  street  road  they  were  joined  by  an  officer 
from  the  fort  with  a  pair  of  Held  glasses,  with  which  he  swept  the  country  until  he  evidently  located 
the  object  sought.  He  then  handed  the  glasses  to  the  President,  at  the  same  time  pointing  in  the 
direction  that  he  desired  him  to  look.  The  glasses  were  in  turn  passed  to  Mr.  Stanton  and  to  the 
unknown  officer  before  mentioned. 


The  distinguished  party  had  been  there  but  a  very  short  time  before  the  officer  from  the  fort  ap 
peared  anxious  to  have  them  move  from  their  exposed  position.  The  compiler  was  not  near  enough 
to  hear  the  conversation,  but  the  uneasiness  of  the  officer  to  get  them  to  return  was  very  plain,  as 
shown  by  his  gestures  and  movements.  He  finally  rather  abruptly  took  the  glasses  from  the  Presi 
dent's  hand  and  returned  them  to  their  case,  starting  in  the  direction  of  the  carriage,  the  party  fol 
lowed,  but  rather  reluctantly.  I  believe  Mr.  Stanton  accompanied  the  officer  from  the  fort  on  his 
return  to  the  carriage,  the  President  and  the  other  officer  following. 

The  party  passed  within  a  few  feet  of  the  compiler  both  in  going  and  returning  to  their  carriage, 
and  were  in  full  view  during  their  entire  stay,  which  did  not  exceed  thirty  minutes.  It  was  after 
wards  learned  that  the  anxiety  of  the  officer  from  the  fort  to  get  the  party  to  a  less  exposed  position 
was  on  account  of  several  shots  having  struck  but  a  short  distance  from  where  they  were  standing.

TROUBLES  IN  CHINA. 

In  the  spring  of  1900  the  perilous  situation  of  the  members  of  the  American  lega 
tion  at  Pekin  and  their  complete  isolation  in  the  midst  of  an  unruly  and  murderous 
populace  demanded  prompt  action  for  their  relief.  The  commanding  general,  Divi 
sion  of  the  Philippines,  was  therefore  instructed  by  cable,  June  16,  1900,  to  send  at 
once  a  regiment  of  infantry  to  Taku,  and  six  days  later  Maj.  Gen.  Adna  K.  Chaffee,

China  relief  expedition.

AUTHORITY  FOE  INCREASE  AND  REORGANIZATION  OF  THE  REGULAR  AND 
VOLUNTEER  MILITARY  FORCES. 

[From  report  of  the  Adjutant-General.] 

On  the  passage  of  the  joint  resolution,  approved  April  20,  1898,  demanding  that 
Spain  relinquish  its  authority  and  government  in  the  island  of  Cuba  and  to  withdraw 
its  land  and  naval  forces  from  Cuba  and  Cuban  waters,  the  Army  of  the  United 
States  consisted  of  2,143  officers  and  26,040  enlisted  men. 

Under  the  above  resolution  and  the  act  of  April  22,  1898,  the  President  issued  a 
proclamation  April  23,  1898,  calling  for  125,000  volunteers.  This  was  followed  on 
May  25,  1898,  by  a  proclamation  calling  for  75,000  volunteers. 

The  approval  of  the  act  of  April  26,  1898,  increased  the  Kegular  Army  to  63,106 
men,  to  be  reduced  at  the  end  of  the  war  to  a  peace  basis,  namely,  26,610  enlisted 
men.  Meeting  this  instruction  of  the  Congress,  the  men  enlisted  under  the  above 
act  (practically  for  the  war  with  Spain)  were  informed,  in  General  Orders,  No.  40, 
May  10,  1898,  that  they  would  be  granted  their  discharge,  if  desired,  at  the  close  of 
the  war,  upon  individual  application. 

By  the  act  approved  May  11,  1898,  Congress  authorized,  in  addition  to  the  volun 
teers  provided  by  the  act  of  April  22,  the  organization  of  a  volunteer  brigade  of  engi 
neers  of  not  more  than  3,500  men.  The  same  act  authorized  the  organization  of  an 
additional  volunteer  force  not  exceeding  10,000  men,  possessing  immunity  from  disease 
incident  to  tropical  climates. 

The  protocol  was  signed  August  12, 1898,  and  on  September  5,  1898,  the  first  organ 
ization  of  volunteers  was  mustered  out  of  the  service.  This  was  followed  immediately 
by  orders  for  the  muster  out  of  nearly  one-half  of  the  Volunteer  Army. 

On  the  signing  of  the  treaty  of  peace,  April  11, 1899,  it  at  once  became  necessary  to 
muster  out  all  the  volunteer  organizations,  but,  as  stated  heretofore,  the  volunteers 
in  the  Philippines  cheerfully  remained  and  rendered  service  until  the  Government 
was  able  to  send  regular  and  volunteer  regiments  to  relieve  them. 

The  act  of  March  2,  1899,  authorized  the  President  to  "enlist"  from  the  nation  at 
large  35,000  volunteers,  or  so  much  thereof  as  might  be  necessary.  Under  the  same 
act  Congress  authorized  the  recruitment  of  the  Regular  Army  to  65,000  men. 

Under  the  act  of  March  2,  1899,  authority  was  given  the  commanding  general, 
Department  of  Porto  Rico,  to  recruit  a  battalion  of  volunteers  (400)  from  among  the 
Porto  Ricans,  and  such  recruiting  began  on  March  24,  1899. 

On  July  5,  1899,  the  President,  through  the  Secretary  of  War,  ordered  the  organi 
zation  of  ten  regiments  of  volunteer  infantry;  on  July  18,  1899,  of  two  regiments  of 
volunteer  infantry  and  a  regiment  of  volunteer  cavalry  (the  three  regiments  last 
named  to  be  organized  and  recruited  in  the  Philippine  Islands) ;  on  August  17, 1899, 
of  ten  additional  regiments  of  volunteer  infantry;  and  on  September  9,  1899,  of  two 
additional  regiments  of  volunteer  infantry  (the  enlisted  men  and  company  officers  of 
the  last  two  regiments  to  be  colored).

It  is  held  by  the  Pension  Bureau  and  Secretary  of  the  Interior  that  enlistments  in

able  purposes.  Enlistments  in  any  other  States,  Territories,  or  District  of  Columbia

in  or  for  the  war  of  the  rebellion.  To  overcome  this  the  burden  of  proof  is  upon  the 
claimant.

technical  legal  termination  of  the  war  was  August  20,  1866.  Service  rendered  after 
July,  1865,  will  be  presumed  not  to  have  been  in  said  war,  and  that  burden  of  proof 
will  be  upon  the  claimant.

THE   SPANISH- AMERICAN    WAR. 

From  April  21, 1898,  to  April  11, 1899.     (The  protocol  was  signed  August  12, 1898. ) 

For  a  period  of  ten  years,  from  1868  to  1878,  the  inhabitants  of  Cuba  were  engaged 
in  a  struggle  to  free  themselves  from  the  yoke  of  Spanish  tyranny,  but  were  defeated. 
The  Spanish  Government  made  most  liberal  promises,  but  failed  to  keep  them. 

Hostilities  were  renewed  which  lasted  for  three  years,  from  1895  to  1898.  The  inhabi 
tants  were  in  a  most  deplorable  condition;  the  reconcen trades — men,  women,  and 
children,  noncombatants — were  by  edict  of  the  Spanish  captain-general,  Weyler, 
driven  from  their  homes,  crowded  together  without  proper  food  or  shelter,  and  died 
by  thousands  of  disease  and  starvation. 

The  attention  and  sympathy  of  the  American  people  had  for  several  years  been 
attracted  to  this  miserable  condition  of  the  Cubans,  and  many  attempts  had  been 
made  to  relieve  their  distress. 

At  the  beginning  of  1898  about  40  per  cent  of  the  inhabitants  had  perished.  At 
this  juncture  two  events  happened  which  increased  the  tension  in  the  United  States. 
One  was  the  exposure  of  a  letter  written  by  Senor  de  Lome,  the  Spanish  minister  to 
the  United  States,  to  a  friend,  grossly  reflecting  upon  the  President;  the  other  was 
a  demand  by  the  Spanish  Government  for  the  recall  from  Cuba  of  Consul-General 
Lee,  which  was  refused. 

On  the  25th  of  January,  1898,  the  United  States  battleship  Maine  was  ordered  to 
Habana  Harbor,  on  a  peaceful  mission,  by  the  authority  of  the  United  States,  and 
on  the  15th  of  February,  1898,  between  9  and  10  o'clock  p.  m.,  the  vessel  was  blown 
up  by  a  submarine  mine,  266  sailors  loosing  their  lives.  A  searching  investigation 
followed  without  fixing  the  responsibility.  Congress  immediately  appropriated 
$50,000,000  "for  the  national  defense  and  for  each  and  every  purpose  connected 
therewith,  to  be  expended  at  the  discretion  of  the  President." 

After  fruitless  effort  to  bring  about  an  amicable  settlement,  on  April  11,  1898,  the 
President  asked  Congress  to  intervene  to  stop  the  Cuban  war,  and  by  force  to  estab 
lish  a  stable  government  on  the  island.  On  April  19,  1898,  Congress  passed  resolu 
tions,  which  were  signed  by  the  President  at  11.24  a.  m.  the  following  day,  declaring 
"that  the  people  of  the  island  of  Cuba  are,  and  by  right  ought  to  be,  free  and  inde 
pendent,"  and  demanding  that  Spain  at  once  relinquish  its  authority  in  the  island, 
etc.  It  also  authorized  the  President  to  use  the  entire  military  force  of  the  United 
States  to  carry  the  resolution  into  effect. 

The  diplomatic  relations  between  the  two  countries  ceased  April  21,  1898,  and  it 
was  held  that  a  state  of  war  existed  from  that  date.  Blockade  of  the  principal  Cuban 
ports  was  declared  April  22,  and  on  the  23d  the  President  called  for  125,000  volun 
teers  to  serve  two  years,  and  on  May  24  the  Spanish  Government  announced  that  a 
state  of  war  between  that  country  and  the  United  States  existed. 

The  protocol  of  agreement  between  the  United  States  and  Spain  was  signed  at 
Washington,  D.  C.,  August  12,  1898,  by  William  K.  Day  and  Jules  Cambon. 

The  treaty  of  peace  was  signed  at  Paris  December  10,  1898,  by  William  R.  Day, 
Cushman  K.  Davis,  William  P.  Frye,  George  Gray,  and  Whitelaw  Reid,  for  the 
United  States,  and  by  Eugenio  Montero  Rios,  B.  de  Abarzuza,  J.  de  Garnica,  W.  R. 
de  Villa  Urrutia,  and  Rafael  Cerero,  for  the  Kingdom  of  Spain. 

Signed  at  Paris,  December  10,  1898;  ratification  advised  by  the  Senate  February 
6,  1899;  ratified  by  the  President  February  6,  1899;  ratified  by  Her  Majesty  the 
Queen  Regent  of  Spain  March  19,  1899;  ratifications  exchanged  at  Washington  April 
11,  1899;  proclaimed,  Washington,  April  11,  1899.

The  following  is  another  account  of  the  same  battle: 

On  the  night  of  June  16,  1775,  a  detachment  of  about  1,200  men  left  Cambridge 
under  orders  to  fortify  and  defend  the  heights  overlooking  Boston.  Col.  William 
Prescott,  from  his  experience  in  military  affairs  and  his  being  an  officer  in  the  Mas 
sachusetts  line,  had  been  chosen  to  conduct  the  enterprise.  The  start  was  made 
about  9  o'clock.  At  Charlestown  Neck  they  were  met  by  the  wagons  laden  with 
intrenching  tools.  It  was  necessary  to  proceed  with  the  utmost  caution,  for  they 
were  coming  on  ground  over  which  the  British  kept  jealous  watch.  The  orders 
were  to  fortify  Bunker  Hill,  but  when  the  designated  place  was  reached  it  was 
decided  that  Breeds  Hill  (about  700  yards  distant)  was  the  better  point  to  hold,  as 
it  was  nearer  Boston  and  had  a  better  command  of  the  town  and  shipping.  The 
lines  for  the  fortifications  were  marked  out.  The  men  seized  their  trenching  tools 
and  set  to  work  with  great  spirit,  Prescott,  who  felt  the  responsibility  of  his  charge, 
almost  despaired  of  carrying  on  these  operations  undiscovered.  A  party  was  sent 
to  patrol  the  shore  at  the  foot  of  the  heights  and  watch  for  any  movement  of 
the  enemy.  Not  willing  to  trust  entirely  to  the  vigilance  of  others,  he  twice  went 
down  during  the  night  to  the  water's  edge,  reconnoitering  everything  scrupulously 
and  noting  every  sight  and  sound.  At  dawn  of  day  the  Americans  at  work  were 
espied  by  the  sailors  on  board  of  the  ships  of  war,  and  the  alarm  was  given.  The 
captain  of  the  Lively,  the  nearest  ship,  without  waiting  for  orders,  opened  fire  upon 
the  hill;  the  other  ships  followed  his  example.  Prescott  now  mounted  the  parapet 
and  walked  leisurely  about  inspecting  the  works,  giving  directions  and  talking  cheer 
fully  wTith  the  men.  Encouraged  by  the  words  and'  the  brave  example  of  their 
commander,  standing  in  full  view  at  the  top  of  the  embankment  with  cannon  balls 
passing  him  on  all  sides,  the  men  completed  the  earthworks  and  prepared  to  meet 
the  British  soldiers. 

Camden,  or  Hobkirks  Hill,  S.  C.,  April  25,  17S1.— Fought  between  900  British 
under  Lord  Eawdon  and  1,200  Americans  under  General  Greene.  The  Americans 
were  defeated,  but  took  50  British  prisoners. 

Camden  (Sanders  Creek],  S.  C.,  August  16, 1780. — Fought  between  3,663  Americans 
under  General  Gates  and  2,100  British  under  Lord  Cornwallis.  Baron  de  Kalb  was 
mortally  wounded,  and  the  Americans  were  defeated.  Loss:  American,  1,500  killed, 
wounded,  and  made  prisoners;  British,  324  killed  and  wounded. 

Catawba  Ford,  S.  C.,  August  18,  1780. — The  British  under  Colonel  Tarleton 
attacked  650  Americans  under  Sumter,  killed,  captured,  or  dispersed  the  whole  party, 
and  retook  300  British  prisoners.  Loss:  British,  9  killed  and  6  wounded.  The 
Americans  had  captured  two  hogsheads  of  rum  and  were  generally  drunk  when 
attacked.

Early  Pension  Legislation. 

It  will  be  of  interest  to  know  that  the  foundation  of  our  present  pension  system  is 
older  than  the  Declaration  of  Independence. 

The  first  national  pension  law  was  passed  August  26,  1776,  before  our  independence 
was  established.  But  prior  to  this,  early  in  the  history  of  colonial  legislation,  many 
of  the  English  colonies  in  America  had  provided  for  the  relief  of  wounded  and 
maimed  soldiers. 

In  1636  the  Pilgrims  at  Plymouth  enacted  in  their  courts  that  any  man  who  should 
be  sent  forth  as  a  soldier  and  return  maimed  should  be  maintained  competently  by 
the  colony  during  his  life.  This  was  probably  the  first  pension  law  passed  in  America. 
In  1676  a  standing  committee  of  the  general  court  of  Massachusetts  Bay  held  regular 
meetings  in  "Boston  toune  house"  to  hear  the  applications  of  wounded  soldiers  for 
relief.  After  the  union  of  Massachusetts  Bay  and  Plymouth  colonies  under  the 
charter  of  1691,  the  province  continued  to  make  provision  for  the  relief  of  disabled 
soldiers  out  of  the  public  treasury. 


BATTLES    OF    THE    OLD    WARS,    1754-1848.  243 

In  1644  the  Virginia  assembly  passed  a  disability  pension  law,  and  later  provision 
for  the  relief  of  the  indigent  families  of  soldiers  who  should  be  slain.  Similar  acts 
are  found  in  the  colonial  statutes  of  Maryland  and  New  York  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
seventeenth  century.  In  1718  Rhode  Island  enacted  a  pension  law,  which  provided 
that  every  officer,  soldier,  or  sailor  employed  in  the  colony's  service,  who  should  be 
disabled  by  loss  of  limb  or  otherwise  from  getting  a  livelihood  for  himself  and  family 
or  other  dependent  relatives,  should  have  his  wounds  carefully  looked  after  and 
healed  at  the  colony's  charge,  and  should  have  an  annual  pension  for  the  mainte 
nance  of  himself  and  family  or  other  dependent  relatives.  The  law  further  provided 
that  if  any  person,  who  had  the  charge  of  maintaining  a  wife,  children,  parents,  or 
other  relatives,  should  be  slain  in  the  colony's  military  service,  these  relatives  should 
l)e  maintained  while  unable  to  provide  for  themselves. 

The  above  shows  that  the  custom  of  pensioning  soldiers  is  as  old  as  the  English 
settlement. 

The  first  national  pension  law,  that  of  August  26,  1776,  promised  half  pay  for  life 
or  during  disability  to  every  officer,  soldier,  or  sailor  losing  a  limb  in  any  engage 
ment,  or  being  so  disabled  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  as  to  render  him  inca 
pable  of  earning  a  livelihood. 

On  August  24,  1780,  a  resolution  was  adopted  extending  the  above  half-pay  provi 
sion  to  the  widows  or  orphan  children  of  such  officers  as  had  died,  or  should  die  in 
the  service.  This  was  the  first  national  pension  law  in  behalf  of  widows  and  orphans. 

On  April  23,  1782,  Congress  provided  that  soldiers  who  were  sick  or  wounded  or 
unfit  for  duty  should  receive  a  discharge  and  be  pensioned  at  the  rate  of  §5  per 
month.  It  is  further  shown  that  history  is  repeating  itself,  as  Congress  was  as  unable 
at  that  time  as  at  the  present  to  enact  pension  laws  that  were  in  all  respects  satis 
factory  to  the  masses.  The  money  was  not  always  in  the  Treasury  to  pay  the  pensions 
after  the  same  had  been  granted,  much  being  promised  but  little  realized.  Many 
were  paid  in  commutation  certificates  payable  to  them  or  bearer  and  drawing  interest 
at  6  per  cent,  but  no  provision  was  made  for  paying  either.  Many  of  these  were 
compelled  to  part  with  their  certificates  as  low  as  12J  cents  on  the  dollar.

NOTE.  —  Section  4699,  Revised  Statutes,  provides  that  the  rate  of  eighteen  dollars 
per  month  may  be  proportionately  divided  for  an  degree  of  disability  established 
for  which  section  forty-six  hundred  and  ninety-five  makes  no  provision,  thus  fixing 
the  highest  rating  provided  by  existing  lawsVhich  can  be  allowed  by  considering 
disabilities  separately  and  compounding  so  as  to  allow  the  full  amount  which  the 
disabilities,  so  considered,  would  aggregate. 

The  act  of  March  2,  1895,  provides  that  all  pensioners  now  on  the  rolls  who  are 
pensioned  at  less  than  six  dollars  per  month,  for  any  degree  of  pensionable  disabil 
ity,  shall  have  their  pensions  increased  to  six  dollars  per  month;  and  that,  hereafter, 
whenever  any  applicant  for  pension  would,  under  existing  rates,  be  entitled  to  less 
than  six  dollars  for  any  single  disability  or  several  combined  disabilities,  such  pen 
sioner  shall  be  rated  at  not  less  than  six  dollars  per  month:  Provided  also,  That  the 


246  PENSIONS TABLE  OF  EATES. 

provisions  hereof  shall  not  be  held  to  cover  any  pensionable  period  prior  to  the 
passage  of  this  act,  nor  authorize  a  rerating  of  any  claim  for  any  part  of  such  period, 
nor  prevent  the  allowance  of  lower  rates  than  six  dollars  per  month,  according  to  the 
existing  practice  in  the  Pension  Office  in  pending  cases  covering  any  pensionable 
period  prior  to  the  passage  of  this  act. 


The  widow  of  a  soldier  or  sailor  who  died  of  a  disability  incurred  while  in  the 
service  and  in  line  of  duty  is,  under  the  provisions  of  section  4702,  Revised  Statutes, 
entitled  to  the  rating  to  which  he  would  have  been  entitled  for  a  simple  total  disabil 
ity,  as  shown  in  Table  I;  and  under  the  provisions  of  section  4696,  Revised  Statutes, 
the  rank  of  the  soldier  is  determined  by  the  rank  held  by  him  when  death  cause  was 
incurred,  without  regard  to  subsequent  promotions. 

From  and  after  March  19,  1886,  by  the  act  approved  on  that  date,  the  widow  of  a 
private  or  noncommissioned  officer  is  entitled  to  $12  per  month,  provided  that  she 
married  deceased  soldier  or  sailor  prior  to  March  19,  1886,  or  thereafter  married  him 
prior  to  or  during  his  term  of  service. 

WIDOW'S   INCREASE. 

From  a,nd  after  July  25,  1866,  a  widow  is  entitled  to  $2  per  month  increase  for  each 
legitimate  minor  child  of  the  soldier  or  sailor  in  her  care  and  custody. 

MINOR'S  PENSION. 

Same  rates  and  increase  as  in  widows'  claims,  except  that  in  cases  of  children  of 
fathers  below  the  rank  of  a  commissioned  officer  the  rate  is  increased  to  $12  per 
month  from  March  19,  1886,  without  regard  to  date  of  soldier's  or  sailor's  marriage. 

MOTHERS,   FATHERS,   AND    BROTHERS    AND    SISTERS. 

Same  rates  as  provided  in  minors'  and  widows'  claims  in  cases  of  commissioned
